Delicious Potato Bread Recipe | Easy Homemade Bread

Ingredients

Servings:
16
  • 2 cups mashed potatoes (Cook and mash the potatoes until smooth.)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup bread flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (or 2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 1 cup warm water (About 110°F (43°C))
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Prepare the Yeast

    In a bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

    Ensure the water is not too hot to avoid killing the yeast.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, bread flour, sugar, and salt.

    Sifting the flour can help incorporate air for a lighter bread.
  3. Combine Ingredients

    Add the mashed potatoes, olive oil, and the yeast mixture to the flour mixture. Stir until a dough forms.

    You may need to adjust the flour depending on the moisture of the potatoes.
  4. Knead the Dough

    On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

    If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour as needed.
  5. First Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

    The warmer the area, the faster the rise.
  6. Shape and Second Rise

    Punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it in a greased loaf pan. Let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.

    Cover the loaf with a cloth to keep it warm.
  7. Bake the Bread

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the loaf for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.

    Tap the bottom of the loaf; it should sound hollow when done.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

    Slice and enjoy warm or toasted.
